As my close buddies know, I can't leave well enough alone. So I've continued to mess with my pump settings, seeking the holy grail of parameters that allow me to climb a hill with reasonable EGT's, start with no smoke, all the while not rattling...

We installed the front coil springs at the end of the day. Trans crossmember was a bolt in and done deal. Same for drivelines, surprising but everything is good to go there. Cheers

That’s the easiest engine I have ever installed into a Cruiser. Cheers

As part of a bigger service(timing belt, water pump, all water lines, valve shims, radiator swap etc etc) I made the effort to get a pdi intercooler to fit above the factory winch. Everyone I asked said it wouldn’t fit with the winch there, but...

Quick lap to the property with the littles! Hard to resist snapping a few pics! Few things in the works for the exterior rear of the canopy. Rear amber facing work light as well as some internal canopy door lights. Jerry can holder and 5lb...

Too fancy ;)

Front MRRs are done.

So just a quick update. Tony sold the Troopy the other day. The new owner is having us finish it. I checked with him and he is ok with us continuing this build thread! 😎 Cheers

Picked up my custom engine adapter plate from the laser cutter and dropped it off at the machinist.

Had a flickering RH side LED headlight on the 77. Replaced the canbus modules with 24V JTX units. Solved the flicker and lack of the high beam dash indicator as a bonus. PO had just zip tied the old units out of the way. Ended up making quick...

That third leaf is usually a target but I left it in the last 75 build and everyone is happy with the way it rides and sits. Plus both of these guys like using them

Half the price of a 24V rig and twice the fun!

I have two HZJ73's, the 95 (sand colored one) came to me from Japan with a new paint job and black grill/rear view mirrors/turn signal housings. The '91 (blue one) had a chrome grill that needed a couple of cracks repaired, so I recently did that...

Jerry drove the 200 and I jumped in the FZJ70 with the 285/75-16s. This thing is a Rocketship. We ran 75 mph most of the way from Houston to Hammond Louisiana where we swapped and he took the 70 home to Hattiesburg and I pulled the 75 home...

The vanity plate has finally arrived! Now to figure out how to mount it on my Kaymar swing out. Anyone have an elegant solution? I *believe* it is a requirement to have your license plate illuminated in the dark, but I have been wrong before.

Was able to get out to Anza Borego State Park this weekend with some friends from my local clubhouse. Troopy did really well, need to get a compressor and radio worked out. Anyone have any recommendations?

Hello everyone, I'm excited to introduce my new troopy camper, a dream realized sooner than anticipated. Pleased to meet you all.

got the insulation finished. all doors all sides. floor is next.

Mild body lift

Putting the FT73 to work

My front main seal was leaking something fierce so I replaced it. Removing the crank bolt was more difficult than on a previous engine I did. The starter trick couldn't crack the bolt, it was just bending the breaker bar against the frame. Then I...

I looked down at a stoplight to see the odometer on a nice round number. Beautiful day for driving the soft top in Texas.

Relocated this sweet beast to it's new Rocky Mountain home. Fun times ahead!
